Upward Health is an in-home, multidisciplinary medical group providing 24/7 whole-person care.

Everyone on our team from our doctors, nurses, and Care Specialists to our HR, Technology, and Business Services staff are driven by a desire to improve the lives of our patients. We are able to treat a wide range of needs – everything from addressing poorly controlled blood sugar to combatting anxiety to accessing medically tailored meals – because we know that health requires care for the whole person. It’s no wonder 98% of patients report being fully satisfied with Upward Health!

Job Title & Role Description:

  • Conduct primary care, urgent visits, and annual wellness exams, ensuring all appropriate screening tests and quality measures are addressed.
  • Refer patients appropriately for behavioral health and specialty services.
  • Coordinate care transitions to prevent hospital readmissions by collaborating with PCPs, hospitalists, and SNF providers.
  • Participate in the on-call provider schedule to support the 24/7 patient hotline, requiring after-hours and weekend availability on a rotating and recurring basis.
  • Foster a collaborative working environment with all members of the interdisciplinary team, contributing to daily huddles, team meetings, and patient discussions.
  • Monitor and respond to remote patient data collected through monitoring devices.
  • Perform other duties as assigned.

Knowledge, Skills & Abilities:

  • Expertise in managing complex, polychronic patients, with demonstrated ability to assess and treat high-acuity patients.
  • Familiarity with caring for Medicare and Medicaid populations, with experience in both inpatient and outpatient or home care settings.
  • Proficiency in motivational interviewing, trauma-informed care, and supporting vulnerable populations is preferred.
  • Excellent written, computer, and oral communication skills, with the ability to communicate efficiently and proactively with the clinical team.
  • Dedication to health equity and transforming care for patients in their homes.
  • Strong organizational skills and ability to provide clinical leadership and coordination.

Qualifications:

  • Minimum of 5 years’ experience as a provider, with at least 3 years in a primary care or related setting.
  • Multi-state Advanced Nursing License or willingness to obtain.
  • A valid driver’s license and auto liability insurance.
  • Willingness and ability to travel as needed, though responsibilities are primarily performed virtually.
  • Experience in urgent/emergent care settings is a plus.

Key Competencies:

Clinical Leadership:

  • Ability to provide decision support and leadership to the care team.
